A long piece, admittedly, but an interesting 8 minutes to listen to. I tried to make it flow well, not looping _too_ much. I like the sonics a lot, as it reminds me of the fantasy worlds I often write about.

Firewane

This is another piece I wrote last year after my house burned down--for real! I was feeling rather somber and I was suddenly caught up with this new baseline I found in Logic Pro. A week later I had, which at the time I called, my best track ever. Hope you enjoy it. Like all my stuff I tried hard to make the music go somewhere. I especially love the last two minutes of the track coz it's something I could attribute to the closing credits of a film! Enjoy.

This is a track for a really dear old friend of mine that I left behind in Wales long ago.

For Sinead

I stumbled on the bass for the second movement, quite by accident. I had just upgraded my instruments to include the awesome Cherry Audio PS-3300 when I discovered this fantastic sound. It holds its own well and supports all the texture I keep layering on top of it. I like this one; I hope you do, too.

The Witchgate

For the past so many years I've been writing a series of books strongly seated in the horror, fantasy and science fiction genres. Central to the story is a [you'll have to read the book, lol] named Bowen. She has a tragic back story.

Bowen's Artifice

Another character from my book, this one has a nasty end.

The Life of Halforn

This is an up beat track I like. It's based on one of my sub-plots about the witch's with a heart lantern.

Heart Lantern

No story this time, just a fun little tune that's light on the ears. Only lots ~3 minutes.

The Anxious Droid 1.2

A more dance-driven piece than my others. The AI-generated cover is something that inspires my inner writing dude. :) I just like the idea of Phaerie creatures all armored up in the middle of an underworld-wide conflict.

Syncopated Madness

This one is about a high witch who falls to a suitor's sword, or so we thought.

Rosie

There's a character in the book called Lissa. She grows from a mere girl into one of the greatest heroines of her age.

A Vampire's Tale

This is another attempt to make something trance-like.

Irredeemable

The Dell

"This is my first attempt at dubstep," I laugh.

I Am Prankster Born.

This is a pretty cool song, methinks. Tells the story of the demon burning of Noenvel, the principal Land of Nine.

Pookalook Burns!

This is a long piece again, but it's one I really like. I won't bore you with ones I don't :) This invokes the story of the Steampunk girl, dusted off and sent to war with every evil Biejak and monstrous Leviathan.

Steampunk Girl

This is a piece I wrote tonight after thinking of a plot element I'm a bit gaga over: The Void, a place where only monsters dwell, and all that go there must endure The Chill of Silence.

I used my favorite synth plugin for this piece: Cherry Audio's famous reproduction of the KORG PS3300 from the 70s and a mainstay of such legends as Jean Michel Jarre. Only 50 instruments were made over four years. I also used a couple of patches from the Vital software synth in Logic Pro on the Mac. Then, my other go-to AU is the open-source Surge instrument. The thing is flippin' extraordinary for a free synth. Loads of patches to copy and play with. Makes me a happy boy.

Please click like if you in any way enjoyed this.

The Chill of Silence

This was a fun track to write; the first part was me playing with a new toy sonically, and the second was me tripping over my feet and coming up with something a bit cooler... in my mind, anyway. Enjoy.

Arp Discovery

GETS GOOD @ 3:44.
This track is a slower piece, gets faster in the middle, and slows down again for the third part. I thought I loved scary art, and this is just about as good as it gets. TET stands for The Elder Tomb, and in my stories, it's where the Elder Gods of the Middle Sky go to die and be glorified with fluffy clouds and golden saxophones (just kidding). I owe Cherry Audio a ton for this piece, having created just about the most amazing instrument I could ever program for. Making patches is easy, and the three synth modules leave you with a grin. Anyway, enjoy this one, and let me know what you think. Message me any time if you're interested in patch creation on the PS-3300 or game development, especially if it's engine development, which I've been doing for ages.

Oh and I had the word TET thought out _long_ before Oblivion lol.

T.E.T

I used a huge number of instruments this time and switched between them often to keep everything from being boring. It's a loop of the main melody in each of the three parts. I won't name the synths this time, it's the usual ones I normally use, but I will say I'm looking forward to purchasing the KORG Collection 4, which has my absolute favorite synth of all time: The Korg Prophecy. So awesome.

Mage Tek

I like this picture and wanted to write something to accompany it. It's generated, of course. I love AI. The art, not the music!!! AI-generated music gives me the chills. This is a much shorter piece than I usually write; I'm not sure if people like the longer format or the brief, traditional 3-minute length. I like the track, but I tend to listen to my stuff for a couple of hours in a loop before I upload it. To make sure the quality is there.

Autumn by Fire

This 134bpm beauty is a slow-fast-slow kinda thing. I like it, hope you do too.

Superluminati

The Superluminati

Some tracks I really like that I made recently. I like the idea of Dragon Newts, half dragon and half man chimera's with a heart full of rage.

Dragon Newts: Part 2

The Dragon Newt: Part 1

Dragon Newts: Part 1

A child witch, the last of the Sülnyéad, rides her Firekin into the jaws of Abaddon.

Firekin

This is a 6:07-minute track inspired by another of my future stories. I'm working on book 5 right now, and lots of adventures with "The Golden Belle", Tinselle, will happen.

The Golden Belle

The title is Welsh for "The Green Dragon." The track's imagery was generated using a medieval and steampunk dragon-like motorbike. It's kind of bonkers, but it's a bit north of weird. I grew up in Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales and came to the U.S. when I was 23—been dreaming of the place ever since. I hope you enjoy the track.

Y Ddraig Dwyrdd

There's a land in the north country of the Huskworld known as Flette. It is the land of dragons and their Sylvan riders. They were wiped out long ago during the wars between the magi; both men and women save one. The men lost.

The Flettian Sea

The Fallen

I like writing about changelings a lot. I have one character that's spent so much time as a dragon she has a difficult time remember what her real self looks like.

The Changeling

I rather liked "The Changeling" as it stood, so I wanted to expand on that theme and tell a deeper story in several parts. It could have gone on a LOT longer but I was limited to ten minutes. Just snuck under with 9:26. This is my most ambitious EP ever. No B-side, hehe. That dated me.

The Changeling (EP Remix)

Musician. Writer. Game Developer. Dad.

I’ve been composing since I was very young, 7 to be exact. When I wasn’t musically inclined I wrote prose: poems, books, and the like. Then everything changed. I discovered the 8-bit micros of the day in the UK.

I’d walk miles across town to watch my friend Neal code on his BBC Micro. That was it, I was hooked, I knew I wanted to be a game programmer. My big break came when I got to work on Populous II for the Amiga. I moved to the US and worked on a ton of cool games like Area 51 and Doom 4! Totally cool. Now I do all my own modeling, rigging, UVing, and engine dev for every platform I can think of. The rest of the time I’m back to my roots: writing books (I have 5) and composing a song every few days.

Yay!
